The Loch Ness Monster by The Whistlebinkies

288-WhistlebinkiesTwo jigs from the bagpipe tradition. The first is by one of Canada’s leading pipers and composers, Jim McGillivray. The second, by Peter MacLeod of Partick, Glasgow, was inspired by the famous 1934 photograph of the elusive beast taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson

Formed during the great surge of interest in traditional and Celtic music and song in the late 1960’s, The Whistlebinkies quickly evolved into a major force in this field. The Band led the revival in the use of bellows-blown bagpipes in Scotland and were the first to combine the three national instruments: fiddle, bagpipes and clarsach (small Scottish harp) in regular performance. Only authentic traditional instruments are used and where possible, the group prefers to play in an acoustic setting. The repertoire is drawn from all periods of Scottish music and from all regions of the country. Members contribute new compositions within the tradition and the group is always ready to explore connections with other cultures.
